547 56th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11220
The three-unit, three-story old law tenement building at 547 56th Street in Sunset Park, owned by Bi Chen, has been in operation since 1920.
The property has experienced recurring issues with compliance to the Housing Maintenance Code regarding annual bedbug reporting, with four consecutive open violations recorded between 2021 and 2024, showing a persistent pattern of non-compliance with this specific requirement. The only non-bedbug-related housing violation on record was resolved in 2019, concerning inadequate lighting at the front entranceway, which was certified as corrected within nine days of the notice.
More recently, in July 2023, there was a complaint regarding possible illegal conversion of the building space, which was initially investigated in October 2024 but resulted in access denial for the inspection, leading to a closed status for the complaint in October 2024. While the building has maintained compliance in some areas, the ongoing bedbug reporting violations suggest potential challenges with building management and maintenance procedures.
